the source for the tutorial has what you need.
basically you have:

if (this._droptarget == "/somePathToAClip"){
_root.gotoAndPlay ("some scene",1);
}

take another look at the source file from the tutorial and if you still can't get it working reply here.

as it said before i tried the code in the tut but it diodnt work. is there another way to do it?

you can use hitTest but if you are using draggable objects there is no reason you can't use dropTargets. If you post more information about your probelm we will be more able to assist you. (When I get back from holidays, or someone else in the mean time). The code in the tute does work, I'm viewing the working example now...

which version of flash are you using?
if you are using flash 4 the _.root bit won't work ... flash 4 doesn't like it and you have to use tell target to specify the movie clip


btw jesse - thanks for all your help getting my drag and drops working a few weeks ago - the thing that was preventing it working was the _.root!

im using flash 5. ive tried using hittest but it didnt work be cause when it collided with another object it would keep on going to the next frame of the target. i want it to stop and only go to the next frame of the target once.
